Automatic Door Locks
The vehicle is programmed so that,
when the doors are closed, the
ignition is on and the shift lever is
moved out of P (Park) for automatic
transmissions, or when vehicle
speed becomes faster than 13 km/h
(8 mph) for manual transmissions,
both doors will lock.
Use the power door unlock switch to
unlock the door when the vehicle is
not in P (Park). When the door is
closed again, the doors will lock
either when your foot is removed
from the brake or the vehicle
speed becomes faster than
13 km/h (8 mph).
Automatic Door Unlock
The vehicle is programmed so that
when the shift lever is moved into
P (Park) for automatic transmission
vehicles or when the ignition is
turned OFF or is in Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) for manual
transmission vehicles, both doors
will unlock.
With the vehicle stopped and the
engine running, door unlocking
can be programmed through the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
This allows the driver to choose
various unlock settings.
For programming information,
see Vehicle Personalization on
page 555.
Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed
to sound the horn three times and
unlock the driver door when both
doors are closed and there is a
keyless access transmitter inside
the vehicle. When the driver door
is opened, a reminder chime will
sound continuously. The vehicle will
remain locked only when at least
one transmitter has been removed
from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. See Vehicle Personalization
on page 555.
